They take all of the fragmented pieces of files on your hard drive and consolidate them back into contiguous files. This can speed up performance since your computer doesn't have to search for the file fragments.

Is it possible that my laptop removed several good working games and programs because of defragmentation?

No. It is impossible for defragmentation software to remove anything from your computer. The only way that it could would be if you closed the defrag program while it was in the middle of working, and even then it shouldn't remove multiple games, maybe create a few missing files, but not remove them. If you are using Windows 10, I have heard a few rumors about how Microsoft can uninstall any pirated software on your computer. But no, it is impossible for a defragmentation program to remove good, working games, let alone any program.
